In addition to this wonderful site, you might want to try www.sportsshooter.com It is a site

totally devoted to, what else, sports photography. Good luck.

I will be buying 2 softboxes for home portrait photography. Probably, 3'x4' and 4'x6'. The

price difference between something like alien bees and Larson for similar size softboxes is

significant. Why?

I think this has been answered before but i cannot find it.

My epson 2450 will not scan the whole 6x7 slide. Somehow it

only scanns about 2/3 of the area.

Can anyone help?

I recently read on www.lightingmagic.com that in a studio setting one

should rate Portra 160 at 80 or 100. Fine, but when I set my ISO on

my lightmeter what ISO do I use?

see Zuga.net and look at free lessons.

I have read the posts on the virtues of 6x6 vs. 645 and am still a

bit confused. I am an not a pro but do want the best quality

possible. I will soon purchase MF. My choice has been narrowed to

Hasselblad 501CM or Mamiya 645 (either Pro TL or AF).

The question is: If most of the time you crop 6x6 to 645 why buy 6x6.

I understand that some feel 6x6 gives you for freedom to crop when

printing, but I feel in doing mostly protraits I will be able to

compose when shooting rather than printing. For fast action I will

still use my Nikon F100. I plan to do my own b&w and send out

color. I will shoot mostly negative film.

Thank you for your patience and insight.

I am moving up to MF. I about purchased a 503CW when I read about the

price reduction of the 203FE to $3,175. This being a very

significant reduction I am rethinking my choice.

I do mostly portraits of family and friends but would also like to do

some still life and landscape work.

My question is for only about $1,500 more should I step up to the

203FE. Either choice is a significant investment and I only want to

do this once.

I am leaning toward the 203FE with the 110FE f2 lens.

I currently use Nikon F100 and 28-70 f2.8 AFS and 80-200 f2.8.
